They want to “tighten the pace”, make the deaths bloody, improve the devil make-up, udate it, and show the baby at the end.

Oh, only one problem…

Everyone already knows it’s Satan’s child and that witchcraft exists.
They didn’t back in 1968.

But, they could probably make this movie for about $10 million and make about $30 million.

And that’s about all it will make, Michael.

Oh, and then there are all those curses and tragedies the makers experienced after making the original.

But I really liked “Texas Chainsaw-The Beginning”. The best since the original.

Good luck.

It must be lucrative or they wouldn’t keep doing it. And we do live in a post-shame era.

Trying to think of which Kubrick would be the biggest crime to remake. I’m leaning towards Dr. Strangelove. I’d like to have Tom Cruise digitally replaced in Eyes Wide Shut. Nicole, however, stays in the picture. God I can’t watch it just because of him!

It may just be a matter of time before they come for Stanley and Steven’s ouvre. Gotta get paid!

Yeah, I totally see your point. You have to wonder if a film like Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket could ever get remade. I think there is a line in the sand, more like an industry coda, that protects Kubrick’s filmography (The Shining for TV doesn’t count, as Stephen King made it), and to a certain extent Spielberg’s films.

Right, The Gray Album was more of a reinvention than a remake of The White Album. I took that into account. If someone wants to ’sample’ Rosemary’s Baby and toss it on its head, I don’t have a problem with that at all. But with their straight-up remake, Platinum Dunes sort of declares that nothing is sacred. Kubrick’s films can’t be far off. And in the end, nobody wins because of it.

this is almost as dumb of an idea as remaking ‘planet of the apes’.

Of course there was DJ Dangermouse Black/White mashup The Gray album which would have been much better if Jay-Z wasn’t such a shitty rapper.

You bring up a good point, as you never hear about remakes of classic albums and books, though plays are often revamped.

Why are movies the exception? The obvious answer is that they age the worst. But in the case of Rosemary’s Baby, which still feels fresh to this day and has only spawned one direct-to-TV sequel (kinda shocking), this isn’t the case. The movie industry simply has lower standards. Obviously, the rights to this film (and the original novel) are much easier to snap up than, say, The White Album. But can you imagine someone remaking a Beatles album, and I don’t mean a novelty cover album? It’s nearly impossible to envision.

I truly hate this man…

Keep up the top notch work Mikey B. …I hear they’re making a 4th Indiana Jones movie…heres an idea…why don’t you guys make a remake of that before it even gets released…throw them all for a loop you fucking morons.

Obviously that wasn;t just directed at M.B. but at hollywood in general. (See what I did there Bay…I admitted when I directed something in the wrong direction and it became a shitfest of a disaster *cough* Pearl Harbor *cough*)
